Bike History
Click a link below to see past stages of this bike.
Current Stage Info:
The XTR cranks need new chainrings and since I have the XT cranks that are in decent enough condition, I am going to go with those till I can get XTR chainrings or figure out an option. I may stick with the XT cranks but I need to figure out quick if I want to do standard rings or go with my Biopacé crank of the same iteration.

Thanks sorry for missing your comment for a year. Unfortunately I sold the components on the thing but they gave me the frame back but I have had so many projects that I haven't built anything new with it.
